一名 9 周大的澳大利亚婴儿在罕见的肉毒杆菌中毒中幸存下来，被误诊为哮吼，由于抗毒素治疗延迟，需要在 ICU 住 10 个月。 A 9-week-old Australian infant survived rare botulism misdiagnosed as croup, requiring 10 months in ICU due to delayed antitoxin treatment.

来自澳大利亚米尔杜拉的9周大的Lucas Whitelegg在罕见的婴儿肉毒杆菌病中幸存下来,最初被误诊断为孕育,由于麻痹和呼吸衰竭,需要10个月的特别护理。 Nine-week-old Lucas Whitelegg from Mildura, Australia, survived a rare case of infant botulism, initially misdiagnosed as croup, requiring 10 months in intensive care due to paralysis and respiratory failure. 近期房屋翻修中与土壤细菌的可疑联系仍未证实。 Suspected links to soil bacteria from a recent home renovation remain unproven. 由于拯救生命的抗毒剂(每剂量100 000美元,当地无法使用)需要美国检测确认,因此治疗出现延误。 Delayed treatment occurred because the life-saving antitoxin, costing $100,000 per dose and unavailable locally, required U.S. testing confirmation. 尽管毒素在治疗前与神经末梢结合，但卢卡斯还是完全康复了，现在担任学校队长，并为父母的慈善事业发声。 Despite the toxin binding to nerve endings before treatment, Lucas made a full recovery, now serving as school captain and advocating for his parents’ charity. 专家敦促该区域的医生在无法解释的瘫痪和便秘情况下考虑婴儿肉毒杆菌病,以便能够进行早期诊断和取得更好的结果。 Experts urge doctors in the region to consider infant botulism in cases of unexplained paralysis and constipation to enable earlier diagnosis and better outcomes.
